classes have been making a significant impact on not only the education system, but for the students who take them as well. However, it is tough to say if taking classes online really benefit all of those who are taking them in college. The learning curve for every individual is based on personal preference.

The yearly…

The term data-driven instruction (DDI), also called data supported instruction, is a systematic approach that is used to improve student learning based on available data (Lewis, Madison-Harris, Muoneke, & Times, 2010).
